Aromatic amino acids and their derivatives are high value chemicals widely used in food, pharmaceutical and feed industries. Current preparation methods for aromatic amino acid products are fraught with limitations. In this study, the efficient biosynthesis of aromatic amino acid compound tyrosol was investigated by epigenetic modification-based regulation and optimization of the biosynthetic pathway of aromatic amino acids. The production of tyrosol was significantly improved by the overexpression of m⁶A modification writer Ime4 and reader Pho92, and the positive regulator Gcr2. Introduction of Bbxfpk and deletion of Gpp1 further improved tyrosol production. Then the feedback inhibition of the shikimate pathway was relieved by the mutants Aro4^K229L and Aro7^G141S. The final tyrosol producing engineered strain was constructed by the deletion of PHA2, replacement of the native promoter of ARO10 with the strong promoter PGK1p, and introduction of tyrosine decarboxylase PcAAS. In the background of m⁶A modification regulation, this strain ultimately produced 954.69 ± 43.72 mg/L of tyrosol, promoted by 61.7-fold in shake-flask fermentation.
